Like holy hell what a ride the past day has been with the bitmex stuff

what bitmex stuff? an exchange facing criminal charges? that is new to you, everyone already knew exchanges were shady and many of them were involved in criminal activities, mainly manipulation of the market which is illegal and has severe consequences even if it seems normal.

And as we speak, the S&P500 futures is down by -1.60% as of yet(of course it could still change).

not as we speak, over the past month S&P500 has gone down nearly 10% and that's huge for stock market.
meanwhile bitcoin price is stable above $10k.

Buy the dips though.

1% drop is not the dip for Bitcoin, it randomly goes up or down by a few percents very frequently. So, it's actually not a good idea to FOMO right now, better sit and wait for an actual dip, if buying the dip is your chosen strategy.

Trump is apparently good for the stock market, and now there is a small increase for the outcome where he is no longer a POTUS after these elections, so no wonder that the market reacted negatively, and Bitcoin is following stocks for now.

Exactly, 1% is not a big price drop for Bitcoin or any other cryptocurrency.

At the moment, I don't see a big problem yet, except that the other candidate could get COVID .. Roll Eyes

And it would certainly be a very big problem if one of them (of course I do not wish it to anyone) would die before the election.. Shocked

Can you imagine it ?!
This could shake the economy not only of the United States but certainly of the entire world. And the prices in the markets would definitely dive as hell..

Yes if you look at the timeframe, it was a few seconds after he sent the tweet that SP500 futures started to crash. And then shortly after the crypto markets followed. Honestly I am surprised we are still >$10K after all this negative news of the last 24 hours or last week due to also the Kucoin hack.

Trump getting Covid definately isn't bullish, and if you look at his polls and all those "Election odd bets" website they all are tanking on Trump winning the election due to this positive test result. Even if he didn't get Covid, if he lost the Election markets would probably tank anyways.

The price of BTC is inextricably tied to the stock market because of the institutional investors that hold and trade a lot of bitcoin.

True. And as we speak, the S&P500 futures is down by -1.60% as of yet(of course it could still change). Unless bitcoin moves in a different direction vs the S&P500, which I totally doubt will happen any time soon, this isn't a good sign for the US stock market and bitcoin in the short term. Though of course I could definitely be wrong, I'm getting cash ready to invest in both asset classes.

The price of BTC is inextricably tied to the stock market because of the institutional investors that hold and trade a lot of bitcoin. As bitcoin is considered to be the highest risk asset by Wall Street, it tends to get sold off first any time there is a bit of panic or uncertainty in the market. This time around the uncertainty is due to Trump's unexpected diagnosis.
